After discovering Chris Ward watches, I spent some time reading reviews about said watches on various online forums and watch experts' fedbacks. I was pleased with experts' and customers' reviews and feedback and most importantly the ethos and commitment of CW appealed to me. I have bought two watches- limited addition C60 Trident Day Date COSC for myself and also a similar model in quartz C60 Trident 300 as a gift. Both models look well made showcasing great design and high quality. Owing a Swiss Made certified Chris Ward watch has somemwhat put me off buying Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean as apart from the name I honestly see no difference neither in quality nor in design. I have also had a great experience with customer service from CW as the watch I originally wanted was not available at that point and the customer servicey offered me analternative solution honoring me the special offer for a non-sale watch. I am very satisfied and have been wearing CW watch since it arrived in May 'neglecting' my other brand watches.
